Nucleus

The Cell Nucleus The nucleus is a highly specialized organelle that serves as the information processing and administrative center of the cell. This organelle has two major functions: it stores the cell's hereditary material, or DNA, and it coordinates the cell's activities, which include growth, intermediary metabolism, protein synthesis, and reproduction (cell division).

Mitochondria

Mitochondria are rod-shaped organelles that can be considered the power generators of the cell, converting oxygen and nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is the chemical energy "currency" of the cell that powers the cell's metabolic activities. This process is called aerobic respiration and is the reason animals breathe oxygen.

Ribosomes

All living cells contain ribosomes, tiny organelles composed of approximately 60 percent ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and 40 percent protein. However, though they are generally described as organelles, it is important to note that ribosomes are not bound by a membrane and are much smaller than other organelles.

Endoplasmic Reticulum

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a network of flattened sacs and branching tubules that extends throughout the cytoplasm in plant and animal cells. Carries materials through cell and when ribosomes attach aids in making proteins

Golgi Bodies

The Golgi apparatus (GA), also called Golgi body or Golgi complex and found universally in both plant and animal cells, comprised of membrane-covered sacs called cisternae that look something like a stack of deflated balloons. Package & export proteins Click Here

Chloroplasts
One of the most widely recognized and important characteristics of plants is their ability to conduct photosynthesis, in effect, to make their own food by converting light energy into chemical energy.

Cell Wall

One of the most important distinguishing features of plant cells is the presence of a cell wall. The relative rigidity of the cell wall renders plants sedentary,

Lysosome
The main function of these microscopic organelles Breaks down larger food molecules into smaller molecules and digests old cell parts.

Centrosomes
Found only in animal cells, Paired structures near the nucleus Made of a cylinder of microtubule pairs Separate chromosome pairs during mitosis Click Here

What we eat matters! Food in transformed in our bodies through organ systems, and within each cell through cellular respiration (also happens in plants but instead of food, get energy from the sun through photosynthesis.

PROTIEN a long chain of amino acid molecules; contains carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sometimes sulfur. Fish, beans, ham = protects immune system, builds muscle LIPID a type of biological molecule that includes fats, oils, hormones, waxes, and components of cellular membranes. Olive oil, peanut butter, salad dressing. stores energy CARBOHYDRATE a group of organic molecules that includes sugars, starches, and cellulose. Fruit, chocolate, pasta = glucose, gives energy.
